Hacking LAV Splitter to use plain old buffering

LAV Splitter is used to fetch network data in some media players (e.g. MPC-HC). The LAV buffer (aka packets queue) is not measured in data volume, but rather in packets (or frames, not sure here). Anyway, since the network throughput is limited by data volume, the number of packets in queue is multiplied by factor variable, which is bigger the higher quality video you are playing. This provides variable length buffer, however you can't really control the size and if you got slow WiFi you might have experienced choppy playback.

The following guide changes the way LAV buffer works by eliminating packet limits and putting the infamous "Maximum Queue Memory" settings in charge (you might have tried to increase this settings from default 256 MB to no avail as many have before you).

###32-bit instructions

Open the mpc-hc/LAVFilters/LAVSplitter.ax file in [HEX editor][hxd] of your choice.

Configure Synology NAS as Git Server

Instructions for setting up a git server on a Synology NAS with Diskstation. Specifically, I am using a DS414 with DSM 5.0.

Set Up User and Folder

Create user gituser via Diskstation interface (with File Station and WebDAV privilages)
Add new shared folder called git (located at /volume1/git) with read/write access for gituser and admin. This folder will hold all the repos.
Install Git Server package via Diskstation

	This expects the following to be true of any tables being encoded:
	* They only have string or number keys. Number keys must be represented as
	strings in json; this is part of the json spec.
